We all would talk about visiting this house with the expectation that we would walk away with king-sized candy or entire family packs of candy. Little did we know that the man handing out items from this house thought a little differently... and it turned into a tradition that the neighborhood kids would eventually look forward to.

As it turns out, this man would give out the most random of items: one year we each got a random gardening tool, and another year, I remember most of us getting candy but another kid in our group got a smoke detector.
